I have been unable to locate a book/resource that covers in any detail how to handle jumbo cards. Obviously the ideas are the same, but the execution would be completely different. Is this a work that still needs to be done?

There is a DVD put out by CAmirand Academy called Jumbo card Manipulations by a FISM winner named Cyril HArvey. It covers steals, palms etc and is very thorough.

You're welcome - its not a very well-known DVD but I find its excellent for Jumbo Cards. It also has regular card handling techniques. Also the best Jumbo Card routine (Stage) I've seen is by the Japanese magician Makho Tendo - but I dunno if he has anything in print or on video that is in English.

I have a new effect that I am putting into my new kids show that deals with jumbo cards. I am a total clutz when it comes to working with them in any way other than just showing the deck to be normal. I really need to learn to use them because I need to do some slights with them. The show is in the building stage right now so it is not like I need to learn them this week. I just need to learn a good way for me to bring a selected jumbo card to the top of the deck. I will check out the video now for sure.
Thanks Steven |

Does anyone know where you can find good jumbo cards?

El Duco has some great jumbo cards. They're not as large as Bicycle Jumbos, but the El Duco indexes are HUGE! You can see these in a 1000 seat auditorium.
If you're tempted to use Jumbo Bicycle decks, for the sake of the large indexes, why not just use the jumbo index Bicycle 88s? The indexes are the same size and they handle like a regular Bicycle poker deck. That's what I use on stage. |

I noticed Richard Osterlind also use a regular size bicycle cards but with large indexes in ETMMM. I have never seen one sold in the stores though.

Jose de la Torre put out several jumbo card effects, including the handling of sleights/counts, in his "Magicana of Havana." You can find it here - http://www.mymagic.com/delatorre.htm
